• Updated with photos – Upper Tees, Mon 7th May

    by  • May 5, 2012 • 1 Comment

    A non-club organised paddle on the Upper Tees is being planned for Bank Holiday Monday, 7th May. I’ve posted it here in case anyone from the club fancies coming along. If you do, please let me, TT, know via email, text or Facebook as soon as poss so any last minute changes/cancellations can be communicated.

    This is a grade 3/4 run with two main features, the S-bend (or Dogleg) and Low Force (a 10-foot drop over a waterfall) with a number of smaller rapids along the way.

    The meeting/put in point is just off the B6277 outside Middleton-in-Teesdale. The plan is to meet at 10am and spend a few hours on the river. There are plenty of opportunities to walk around any features you don’t fancy doing and we’ll be obviously getting out to look at the big ones prior to running and setting up safety.

    Meet up point is here

    Cheers

    Don’t forget to register your interest for the Ilfracombe annual club holiday!

    by  • February 8, 2012 • 0 Comments

    The time of year has come to organise the annual club holiday / trip.

    Looking at various locations and options we have chosen to hit North Devon again. North Devon has much more consistent suitable surfing conditions, there are also plenty of attractions for non-paddlers and families, and the beaches and scenery are fantastic.

    The proposed dates are Sat 4th Aug to Sat 11th Aug and to stay at Watermouth Valley Campsite, just outside of Combe Martin as seen here:

    Please let Adrian or Richard know if you are interested as soon as possible and by Friday 10th Feb at the latest please.
